How can I get the month number in sql? I use the following code but it returns the month name.
SELECT DATENAME(mm, GETDATE())
Use datepart function with m extension.
SELECT DATEPART(m, getdate())
Use the month function - SELECT MONTH(GETDATE())
Use Datepart:
DATEPART(mm,getdate());
You want DATEPART
:
select datepart(mm, getdate())
Try the below:
SELECT DATEPART(mm,getdate())
You can also use this to pad the month number
SELECT RIGHT('00' + RTRIM( CAST( DATEPART( MONTH, GETDATE() ) AS varchar(2)) ) , 2)
This will return with two char in case of Jan-Sep:
SELECT CASE WHEN LEN(MONTH(GETDATE())) = 1 THEN '0' + CAST(MONTH(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR(2))
WHEN LEN(MONTH(GETDATE())) = 2 THEN CAST(MONTH(GETDATE()) AS VARCHAR(2)) END
